<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 6224867, member: 26430&quot;]A couple of little tricks I use for ACSearch (I always try a few different ways to search like this, since cataloging conventions are inconsistent -- and languages)...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorites is partial legend search (wildwinds use to have this, and I used it ALL the time, but that tool went down a few years back, I believe). You &amp; [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] are right that these won&#039;t show up as Ninica-Claudiopolis, but you can find it searching fragments of legends (i.e., without know it was a Laodicea-C). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since you already had the reverse legend spelled out, I tried it with several permutations of NEIKH, all of which gave me good results of your type: <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=ae+NEIKH" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=ae+NEIKH" rel="nofollow">NEIKH (just that, nothing else)</a>; adding AE reduces results from 52 to 17. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also combining AE with *EIKH or *EIK* works, though sometimes with many results. It took a little messing around to figure out the principle, but it seems you only need the *-wildcard at the end if you also used it at the start. (Otherwise it only returns legends ending or breaking there, which actually would&#039;ve still worked in your case), but you do at the beginning if that fragment may be in the middle (e.g., EIK* or EIKH* do not work.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would&#039;ve probably also searched for Victory too, but surprisingly, given how common the devices are, if you&#039;d searched for Nike instead (since it&#039;s Provincial/Greek), with Vespasian, Wreath, AE you would&#039;ve seen several examples pop up (8 of about 19 results: <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Vespasian+nike+wreath+ae" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Vespasian+nike+wreath+ae" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Vespasian+nike+wreath+ae</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=ae+NEIKH" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=ae+NEIKH" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=ae+NEIKH</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You might have already know all that -- but ... just in case, and for anyone else looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
